As a filmmaker born to working-class immigrant parents in Hackney, London, I've dedicated my career to exploring stories of transformation. From my early days studying at the Royal College of Art to becoming an Academy Award winner, I've developed a distinctive voice that moves fluidly between documentary and fiction. My approach strips away traditional techniques, weaving intimate archival footage into immersive experiences—as seen in SENNA, AMY, and DIEGO MARADONA.
My journey began with THE WARRIOR, shot in the Indian desert with Irrfan Khan, and continued through FAR NORTH with Michelle Yeoh—stories exploring isolation and resilience. I've brought this sensibility to television with MINDHUNTER and THE ME YOU CAN'T SEE. My latest works—FEDERER, capturing the tennis icon's farewell, and the future-set 2073—continue my fascination with individuals facing profound personal and societal change. Throughout it all, I've sought to bridge cultural divides and reveal the human truth.
